Summary: Simple but nice
Comment: Nice movements, nice pictures and nice background.
This DVD is a nice alternate/contrast to Dr Yang Jing Ming DVD (I own 2 of them : 8 pieces of Brocard and Essence of Tai chi Qigong
I consider it a valuable DVD for anyone interested in Qigong in general, and varying styles and Qigong exercices in particular.
Studying different styles and approches can only be enriching

Summary: Good, but confusing to follow
Comment: The documentary that accompanied this set was marvelous... To me, it alone was worth the price! What had me so discouraged was trying to follow the Qi Gong instructions. I had so much difficulty in trying to do the 'opposite' of what I was seeing the instructors doing: like following instructions: take your left, then your right, now with your left, facing them and 'seeing' the opposite. The exercises were perhaps simple enough and easily learned...but for me it was just too difficult to translate 'doing the opposite' of what I was seeing. I realize others may not have this problem, but I thought I should at least present this as possibly confusing a number of other people. I have a couple of other Tai Chi and Qi Gong tapes but they don't present the same challenge... you "do" what you are "seeing."...without having to constantly translate left and right.

Summary: well made
Comment: I thought this was a well made and beautifully set video. Easy to follow for my 79-year old mother! It is an ancient Asian practice, no? Just a suggestion...maybe it would be more authentic to have the Asian woman in the leading position, instead of the white man forward. The way it is, it reproduces inequalities, racial and sexual. Thanks.

Summary: Clear, convenient a great beginning
Comment: I am a beginner, but have worked with two experienced practitioners. My busy schedule made lessons difficult so I bought this DVD and have found it perfect for my needs. An important missing element is a guide to correct stance, but otherwise, this is a great workout and a thorough introduction to a series of basic qigong exercises. I am very pleased with the results of a work out. I feel energized and as if I have had a wonderful massage. I also am able to get into a meditative state while practicing this program. I think it is effective for experienced and beginning practitioners who want a quided practice. I would add that this is a program suitable for people who are fit to those with some disabilities. The beauty is that practitioners can get a range of benefits from developing pulmonary strength from breathing, to energizing oneself. It is a great program and one you can do with family members with different physical conditions.

Summary: Simple and Effective
Comment: I purchased this dvd based on reviews posted on Amazon. I was not disappointed. This dvd is an excellent starting point for this art. The instruction (Francesco) is clear through each form and is easy to follow visually.
I would recommend this dvd to young and old, as a bodybuilder I was looking for something more than a physical result. Qigong will deliver not only physical health but also mental strength. While only doing this form for short time I am already reaping the benefits of being "centered and balanced" and relieving old ailments. By practicing the breathing, stretching, and meditation of Qigong one can only improve their overall health and being.
